It's a bit cramped.

You're so cramped here.

but it's a little cramped.

Can't close the bed. We're cramped.

You'II have to get cramped a bit, Comrade Magazannik.

Indeed, I have recently been reading Dietrich Bonhoeffer s sublime and challenging Letters from Prison, in which he yearns for a Christ capable of offering mercy to a world, our world, then in the process of being martyred for a single man. Written in a cramped, dank, and putrid cell, where hope was meant to die before the body, Bonhoeffer crafted a book rich in faith, openness, possibility, and, yes, hope even in humanity s darkest hour.

In this regard, human rights organizations report, in particular, that waiting areas for asylum seekers and persons who have been turned back have become so called no rights zones which are characterized inter alia by a lack of access to redress and defence, physical and verbal violence of a racist nature by law enforcement officers, cramped conditions and lack of privacy, a lack of minimum conditions of hygiene, a lack of measures to protect women and children.
